❗️ This month’s vote brought us a clear winner — and a heavy, powerful story. 🎬 On June 1, we’ll be screening “Chervonyi” (2017) — a gripping historical drama based on real events. Set in a Stalinist prison camp in 1947, the film tells the story of a Ukrainian who refuses to break — even when everything around him is built to destroy. It’s a raw, intense portrait of dignity, defiance, and the kind of resistance that doesn’t need weapons. ⚠️ Please note: This film is rated 16+. We kindly ask you not to bring children, as the content is emotionally intense and not suitable for younger audiences. 📅 Join us on Saturday, June 1 at 6:30 PM 📍 Cornerstone Church at the Well, Bray, A98 VE43 🎟️ Free entry, no booking needed 💬 English subtitles available 💙 Let’s watch meaningful cinema — and remember the strength it takes to stay human in inhuman times.
